How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stretton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we’re called out for in Stretton
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stretton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stretton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Stretton questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
